OK You don't need to say anything - I'm a bit slack with the blog.
I have managed a bit of sewing over the past months - this quilt here, made from fabric purchased from Kim Bradley's lovely shop in Sydney. The pattern is from Valorie Wells (also purchased at Kim's shop).
This is the quilt I've been working on over the past few weeks - I've finally finished the top this afternoon and now I just have to put something together for the back. It's very large, I wanted a quilt that would hang over the sides of the bed - so it will be going to Evol for quilting with a simple all over pattern. The design is Dotty Frames from Kaffe Fassett's Quilt Grandeur. I enjoyed going through my Kaffe fabrics and selecting prints to use. I'll post another/better photo when it's been quilted.
In the meantime Spring has arrived here and the weather has been just gorgeous. I've been spending a bit of time in the garden lately - trying to fertilize and mulch before it gets too hot. This is the view from my kitchen window - shame you can't see the colours as I do.

I quilted it myself - lots of straight(ish) lines which I like the look of. That's Scarlet standing beside the quilt and as with everything I make she thinks it's hers!

I have another quilt cut out ready to go from the same book - Cartwheel by Liza Prior Lucy which I was planning to start straight away, however I've been distracted by a quilt I saw in the recent Fons and Porter magazine - Trifecta by Tanya Finkler. 60degree triangles made from strips in lovely reds with wonderful white contrast so it just might be a little longer until I get to Cartwheel!
